If you’re not in to exotics, please avert your eyes from this Carlos Falchi bag

As for the rest of you, please go get a paper towel to mop up the drool before we go any further.

Ready? Great.

I have a little theory about exotics that I’ve postulated around these parts before, and it goes something like this: if I’m going to pay a premium for crocodile or python (or, in this case, both), then I want the skins to be featured in the most glorious way possible. Maybe it’s just me, but I think that the Carlos Falchi Caiman and Python Oversized Shoulder Bag is pretty much the definition of “glorious.”

What first caught my eye is that this bag is so slap-full of texture that I want to try and touch it through my screen. Predictably, that didn’t work so well, so I zoomed in on the pictures instead and things just kept getting better, the closer I got. Not only does the color variation highlight just how luxurious both the python and Caiman crocodile are, but it makes the bag far more interesting to look at than your average brown tote. Buy through Neiman Marcus for $3995.

Wow, this is really beautiful. A work of art. I love the texture, and the chunky square rings on the handle are so cool.

While I don’t like it, I can appreciate the craftmanship and the beautiful exotic skin. It’s a great price, too. I was expecting it to be alot more expensive.

Falchi does it again. Kudos to you sir for making a truly beautiful, breathtaking, awe-inspiring bag at a great price. Yes, Margaret there is a bag god and his name is Falchi. (little joke, not meaning any disrespect).

$3995. for caiman? I have a gorgeous caiman handbag, bought in Singapore, in a Kelly bag style with shoulder strap and gold hardware. It was around $500. around 2002. I then bought top of the line alligator, in 2003, at the same warehouse company in Singapore, for less than $850.

I don’t get why alligator, crocodile, and caiman prices so outrageously expensive in the western world. It’s ridiculous. I grew up around plenty of these types of products, as a small child, early 60s, as my grandparents had them and they weren’t outrageously expensive then. It was similar to having leather, just more luxurious.

No doubt dear, that in the early 60’s, as a small child, you yourself would have cost $500.
So would a studio apartment in Manhattan.
As far as your big bargains in the last decade? Well, perhaps you’re comfortable in an exotic skins “warehouse” in Singapore, but not many of the rest of us are. In fact, as long as you were in that part of the world, you probably could have picked up a nice “Hermes” bag in a night market for absolute PEANUTS, if that’s what you’re happy with. Puh-leeze.
